Nathan W., Vincent S., Alex N. Period 5 Outline


 * Lieutenants told Collins to get the water, because they were all thirsty
 * Collins doesn’t know if it is dangerous, or why he should get the water
 * He gets the water anyway
 * The well is being heavily bombarded
 * Collins comes back and all of the water has spilled out
 * Although being fearless, Collins was unsuccessful in retrieving the water, and saving the dying officer (even though Collins went back for him)
 * Collins was conforming to the lieutenants’ ideas
 * Prevented him from being a hero
 * Would have been a hero if:
 * Had followed his conscience and saved the dying officer
 * Also, he wouldn’t have spilled all of the water if he had saved the officer
